Hello 👋

#

Do you mean use a method from the Terminal Android SDK to cancel the Payment Intent?

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:43 PM

#

yep

#

I'm trying to cancel a payment after authorization but before the capture

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:43 PM

#

Is there a particular reason for this?

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:44 PM

#

backup flow in case we create the authorization but the order creation fails in our backend for example

#

user swypes the card -> collected payement -> order creation fails for external reasons

#

we want to cancel the authorization to avoid user having the confusion thinking we charged them

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:46 PM

#

Our SDK docs have this method: cancelPaymentIntent https://stripe.dev/stripe-terminal-android/core/com.stripe.stripeterminal/-terminal/cancel-payment-intent.html

That looks like what you are after

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:46 PM

#

I'm using it, no error but in the dashboard I still see Uncaptured instead of cancelled

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:46 PM

#

Do you have an example payment intent I can look at?

#

Hmmm.... there is no record of an attempt to cancel this payment intent

#

Are you logging the callback status?

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:49 PM

#

I have a nother test with log

There is no attempt to cancel this Payment Intent

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:51 PM

#

but I got the log...

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:51 PM

#

Those logs are not from our SDK.

#

At least not that I can tell. source=PaymentCubit-cancelCardPayment this doesn't exist in our SDK

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:52 PM

#

that's from our side

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:53 PM

#

So your log might be incorrect. There is no API request to cancel either payment intent

#

We have a code snippet that I'd like you to try here: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/refunds?terminal-sdk-platform=android#client-side

Terminal.getInstance().cancelPaymentIntent(paymentIntent,
    object : PaymentIntentCallback {
        override fun onSuccess(paymentIntent: PaymentIntent) {
            Log.d("CANCEL-PI", "Payment Intent ${paymentIntent.id} canceled")
        }

        override fun onFailure(e: TerminalException) {
            Log.d("CANCEL-PI", "Payment Intent ${paymentIntent.id} failed to cancel: $e")
        }
    }
)

#

I don't see you using this method in your code snippet

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:56 PM

#

what's the difference of calling the Cancelable object with the .cancel()?

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:56 PM

#

Please use the exact code we provide.

#

The .cancel with the Cancelable object cancels the operation, not the Payment Intent.

#

So like how collecting card details returns a cancelable object. If you call that cancelable object it cancels the card collection. It does not cancel the Payment Intent

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 5:58 PM

#

ah great, I'll check the flows and get back If I have any issue.
Thanks!

umbral pivot Feb 23, 2026, 5:59 PM

#

Yeah, now that I read more of the docs I can see how it would be easy to mix those up. But you definitely want to use the Terminal.getInstance().cancelPaymentIntent() function. That will do just what you want.

delicate pike Feb 23, 2026, 6:00 PM

#

perfect, thanks!
